Chapter 635 A Breakthrough in Vain

Enjoy reading "Swallowing the Stars: Shock! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice" and savor your reading time.

From the realm lord to the immortal, and finally to the strongest in the universe, the difference in divine power intensity between each major level is a hundredfold!

Of course, this is the most basic difference in divine power. The biggest difference is not just the intensity of divine power. When a realm lord breaks through to immortality, he gains eternal life, his inner world is upgraded to a divine kingdom, he can teleport to the divine kingdom, and he can burn divine power to gain a thousand times more power...

Being granted the title of Marquis grants one an immortal body; being granted the title of King requires the recognition of a superior law; being a Venerable requires comprehending a superior law, which increases one's divine power a hundredfold; and being the Lord of the Universe requires comprehending spacetime and having some understanding of the rules governing the universe.

After becoming the ruler of the universe, his divine power increased a hundredfold.

For the Lord of the Universe to break through to become the strongest in the universe, more conditions are needed. After becoming the strongest in the universe, the most basic divine power will also increase by a hundredfold.

But Zhou Ze is different. Unlike other powerful individuals, he doesn't need to meet numerous conditions and break through to become the strongest in the universe before his divine power increases a hundredfold.

He directly used his primordial power to enhance his divine power, and when his divine power reached a hundred times that of the Lord of the Universe, he directly entered the level of the strongest being in the universe!

Although the breakthrough was simple, he did not possess the ability to make his words come true like the strongest beings in other universes, nor did he have many incredible abilities. Moreover, his inner world had not even achieved the status of a god-kingdom, let alone advanced to a small universe.

"A breakthrough in vain..."

Zhou Ze shook his head with a wry smile: "But it can still be considered a breakthrough. Compared to the strongest beings in other universes, at least my clones haven't disappeared. It seems that, just as I imagined, all my clones are independent entities!"

"I alone am equivalent to ten thousand top-tier seventh-tier universe powerhouses!"

"Enough to dominate the entire cosmic ocean; even a realm beast couldn't withstand the combined attack of ten thousand of the universe's strongest beings!"

"Uh, it doesn't seem like there's been any improvement... Oh well..."

Zhou Ze was frustrated. He already had ten thousand clones, and his strength had also reached the top of the seventh rank. The increase in divine power would at most bring him closer to the eighth rank. To truly break through to the eighth rank, he would have to look at the level of his secret techniques.

The higher the level of divine power, the less effective it becomes, unless there is a qualitative change, that is, breaking through to become the strongest in the universe through the three levels of the divine power path. Only then can one have a real advantage and maintain it indefinitely.

"Anyway, he's finally a true god... Hmm, we can never be careless. Who knows what mysterious and special methods the Origin Continent possesses..."

Thinking about this, Zhou Ze felt a headache coming on. He would definitely enter the Origin Continent in the future, but he didn't know anything about it. As a result, he would completely lose one of his greatest advantages of knowing the future.

This feeling was unsettling, because he knew the future so well that he was at ease in the primordial universe and even the cosmic sea, and felt extremely confident.

The thought of entering the Origin Continent in the future filled Zhou Ze with fear and worry.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have kept these books..."

When Zhou Ze transmigrated, Tomato had already begun writing "Swallowing the Stars 2: Origin Continent," and had even completed most of it.

However, because he was busy with work at the time and liked to read complete books, he only read a few chapters before putting the book on the bookshelf to keep.

"I regret it so much!"

Zhou Ze wanted to cry but had no tears. But things had come to this point, and there was nothing else he could do. He could only grit his teeth and bear it. With his current strength and confidence, plus the double cheat codes in his hands, he didn't believe that he would end up worse off than Luo Feng.

Even if he were to meet an unexpected end, wouldn't there still be Luo Feng, the main character, to bail him out?

"Hmm, maybe we should treat Luo Feng better from now on? Stop bullying him all the time?" Zhou Ze suddenly realized.

Zhou Ze's thought process was many times faster than that of the most advanced intelligent life forms. After breaking through to become the strongest in the universe, his thoughts came and went in less than a fraction of a second.

"Upgrading cheat software requires certain conditions?"

Zhou Ze frowned slightly, sensing the mysterious, unseen information that had inexplicably arisen from his heart.

There are two ways to upgrade.

"The first one actually makes me build a miniature universe myself, that's a bit too much..." Zhou Ze was speechless.

Don't be fooled by how easy it seems to acquire miniature universes; the strongest beings in a universe each possess one. These are natural evolutions that occur as cultivators progress from realm lords to their inner worlds, then to their divine kingdoms, and finally to miniature universes. They are not created by the cultivators themselves.

As for a cultivator to create a small universe on their own, Zhou Ze estimated that the difficulty would be many times greater than that of the strongest cultivator to break through to the universe.

"A small universe requires chaotic evolution, which means that even on the basics, I need to comprehend the laws of chaos. This is just the most basic level, just like the relationship between the foundation of laws and secret techniques. If I want to create my own universe, I must understand how the laws are applied in the universe, how the rules of the universe operate, and analyze the essence of everything until I fully understand it before I can create my own universe!"

Zhou Ze shook his head: "The first method is too complicated and troublesome to upgrade the cheat before I become the Lord of Chaos. It seems that I can only rely on the second method."

"Although the second method is difficult, the long process takes time, so it may seem difficult, but it is actually not that difficult."

The second upgrade method requires the combined efforts of ten thousand lives!

Including Zhou Ze, there are currently fewer than 20 people in the entire primordial universe who have concentrated their mental energy. This is undoubtedly more difficult than breaking through to become a universe master, but given enough time, they will eventually achieve it.

"I wonder what new features will be unlocked after the cheat is upgraded, and what benefits will it bring?"

Zhou Ze speculated.

He felt that the most likely thing was to break through the 10,000-fold limit, since his current overclocking state was increasing his comprehension and perception speed, as well as the energy he was consuming to increase the comprehension and perception speed of others, and the speed at which others were comprehending the secret techniques he created were all stuck at 10,000 times!

Even the number of his clones is capped at 10,000. If the cheat is upgraded and can break through this limit, the improvement for him will be earth-shattering.

"Even the second method of upgrading with external cheats is too far away for me. Playing around is one thing, but becoming the strongest in the universe isn't entirely without its benefits. At the very least, the efficiency of my inner world in absorbing chaotic energy has increased by hundreds or thousands of times!"

"Therefore, as long as I raise all my clones to the level of the strongest in the universe, I can be considered to have achieved freedom of the power of origin."

Zhou Ze felt the vast cosmic sea around him and began to devour the chaotic energy with all his might, while continuously transforming his other clones into the strongest beings in the universe.

The primal power stored in the Land of Origin is being rapidly depleted. All the wealth Zhou Ze has accumulated over the years has only been used to create a few clones.

It wasn't that he had accumulated a small amount, but rather that, based on the foundation of the Lord of the Universe, his divine power had been increased in purity by 100 times. This was exponentially greater than simply increasing the quantity of his power.
